Last night Tara went almost ten hours between feedings. I found out about this the morning after, because I slept in my office, uninterrupted, for nearly ten hours. It was a pretty good night. Even Anna slept well; she was too warm in her long jammies and changed into shorts and short sleeves in the middle of the night. She at this moment putting on her clothes for the day, which she selected herself.

Yesterday evening our friends J. and D. were over with their daughter M., who is an amazingly energetic child. Although our house was at one time baby-proofed, and it is still safe for the most part, there are still a lot of things around to get in to. M. is very tall for her age, and left unsupervised, I’m sure she would have climbed up to get all sorts of stuff we wouldn’t have thought was vulnerable. Anna actually has done a really good job of learning and honoring what she should and should not touch. When Tara becomes mobile, I’m sure Anna will be a good helper in making the house safe for her.
